Diego Simeone Spiced Up The Supercopa With A Bit Of Vinícius Heckling
The Supercopa de España is a bit of a shambolic mini-tournament in the middle of the Spanish domestic season. Since changing the format in 2020—prior to that date, Spain did the normal thing of pitting the winners of the league and the domestic cup against each other in a on...

Trump is president the same way people who do vibe coding are developers. I always thought he'd be much happier playing president on TV instead of actually being president. And people would think about this stuff more rationally if it were a TV show like Pluribus or Severance. Why did really do what they did? Or the way we talk about the Mets or the Knicks and their various trades. It's funny people have a clarity about fictional stuff that they don't have for real-world things like war and gestapo tactics.
